Nobody is selling anything. They’re renting it out so that Millions of public’s money or taxpayer’s money isn’t used for the upkeep of this Colonial Era Governor House.
Great Initiative… Govt will manage some revenue by doing this but it should also be done on other civil government garden sites as many of them are used for events these days for free only on relation bases. So we can make some money by this well done Governor and CM Punjab Mr Buzdar sab
